Slip cover for kitchen chair pads



June 18, 1940. M. MORGENSTERN SLIP COVER FOR KITCHEN CHAIR PADS Filed May 4, 1939 VIII/177217717) INVENTOR MrruMoryemter/z,

ATTORNEY Patented June 18, 1940 entree STATES rarest OFFHQE This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a slip cover for kitchen chair pads.

Still further the invention proposes the construction of a slip cover for kitchen chair pads comprising a top layer of cloth material and a bottom layer of cloth materialsecured together along their front and side edges to form a casing having its back edge open in a manner to permit a chair pad to be inserted therein.

Still further it is proposed to'provide the bottom layer with an inwardly extending slit extending inwards from the rear edge thereof to permit said rear edge to be easily opened in a manner to permit the chair pad to be easily slipped therein.

Still further it is proposed to provide a means in the form of tie strings for closing said slit after the chair pad has been inserted into the casing, and still another means in the form of snap fasteners for closing the open back edge in a manner to completely encase the chair pad.

Still further it is proposed to fashion the easing in a manner to accommodate differently pads and to conform somewhat to the contour of the seat of the chair.

Another object of the invention is the provision of tie strings attached to the back edge of the casing in a manner to be secured to the backof the chair for holding the casing in position upon the seat thereof. I

Still further it is proposed to provide an adjustable means for securing the casing to the back of the chair in a manner to permit the casing to be held in various adjusted positions on the seat.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 11 is a perspective bottom view of still further modified View of a chair pad slip cover.

The slip cover forkitchen chairv pads, according to this invention, is adapted to be used in combination with a chair I8 having a' seat portion Ill supported upon a plurality of legs lilj The chair It is further provided with a back ill extending vertically upwards from the rear edge The slip cover ll includes a top layer of cloth material ll and a bottom layer of cloth material li v between which a chair'pad i2 is adapted to be engaged. Binding material 63 is mounted upon the edge portions of the top layer of cloth The back edges of the top layer of material and bottom layer of material are free of each other for forming an opening through which the chair pad i2 is adapted to be passed. The free edges of the layers [l and li at the back thereof are individually provided with binding material W The bottom layer li is formed with an inwardly extending slit H extending from the back edge thereof and which has a portion of the binding material i3 secured thereto to prevent the edges from unravelling. This slit I W is provided for permitting the chair pad 12 to be easily engaged through the back open edge of the casing.

' A means is provided for closing the slit ll This means comprises a tie string M secured to the material at each side of the slit ll and which'are adapted to be tied together for holding the slit ll closed. A further means is provided mounted on the adjacent faces of the free back edge portions of the layers ll and l l Tie strings 16 are also attached to the back edge of the casing for securing the casing to the back ll! of the chair ll]. These tie strings are adapted to be passed around certain rungs of the chair back ID and tied together for securely holding the casing and chair pad l2 in position upon the seat Ill of the chair.

A cover is provided for engagement upon the top of the chair back 1. This cover I! is constructed of material similar to the material from which the layers H and ll are formed and consists of a front layer l'l and a rear layer l'l These layers I! and I'I are securely attached together along their top and side edges by means of a binding strip l8 which is secured in position by means of stitches I9. The bottom edges of the layers I! and l'l are free of each other and form a pocket for permitting the cover to be slipped upon the top of the chair back Ill asshown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The operation of this form of the invention is as follows:

The top cover I! is engaged upon the top of the chair back In by passing the chair back into the cover through the open bottom edge thereof. The slip cover is adapted to have the chair pad I2 passed therein through the open back edge thereof, and the back edge is adapted to be closed by engaging the snap fastener IS. The slip cover and chair pad are then ready to be engaged upon the seat Ill of the chair by resting the same upon the face thereof. For securing the chair pad l2 in position upon the seat HI the tie strings are attached to the outside rungs of the chair back Ill. 7

According to the modification of the invention shown in Fig. 7 the construction of the slip cover I I for kitchen chair pads is similar to that previously described, except that the layers H and ll are slightly different in contour for accommodating a differently shaped chair pad. In other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous form.

According to the modification of the invention shown in Figs. 8 and 9 the construction of the slip cover for kitchen chair pads is similar to that previously described, except for the provision of an adjustable means for holding the chair pad I2 in various fixed positions upon the seat Ill of the chair l0. This means comprises a pair of stiff members 20 of whale bone or other similar material. Each of the stiff members 20 is encased within a cloth covering 2 I. The bottom layer ll of the casing is formed with openings 22 at each of its rear corners into which one end of each of the stiff members 20 is adapted to be passed.

The bottom face of the cover 2| of the stiff members 20 is provided with a plurality of snap fastener elements 23 which are adapted to be selectively engaged upon complementary snap fastener elements 24 mounted on the inside face of the bottom layer ll These complementary snap fastener elements permit the stiff members 20 to be extended from the back edge of the casing enclosing the chair pad I2. The tie strings l6 are securely attached to the outer ends of the casing 2| enclosing the stiff members 20 and are adapted to be passed around the outside rungs of the chair back Ill for attaching the casing and chair pad to the chair back. In

other respects this form of the invention is similar to the previous forms.

In Fig. 10, the chair pad slip cover II is shown with a side opening 25 which may be closed by suitable slide fasteners 26, buttons, snaps, or the like.

In Fig. 11, an under-turned flap 21 is shown to lie folded under the bottom side of the slip cover H.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
